Peter Sweet presents "Bouffon with Peter Sweet"

Bouffon is the art of grotesque satire—mocking the powerful while celebrating the absurd. In this two-week intensive, physical theatre maker Peter Sweet guides participants through the essentials of bouffon: flocking, creating ensemble rhythms, improvising as a grotesque “band,” shape-shifting into objects and people, exploring mask work and writing sharp satire.

Key elements

Flocking and ensemble play: learn how to move as one organism while amplifying group dynamics.

Shape-shifting: transform into objects, animals and political archetypes to reveal social absurdities.

Satirical writing: combine improvisation with writing to craft pointed and playful commentary.

This workshop takes place in Berlin (venue to be confirmed), running daily 10:00–18:00. Sessions are conducted in English with German translation if needed.
